Next week is the 2016 version of SQL in the City and you can register now to attend. It’s free and doesn’t require any travel. You can watch the event live from the comfort of your office chair.

In the many years that we’ve run SQL in the City, we’ve had events in London and various cities around the US. It’s been a lot of fun and we want to continue the tradition, but with an experiment.

This year we’re broadcasting SQL in the City from the Redgate Software offices in Cambridge, UK. We have seven hours of sessions mixed in with tips and tricks that will help you become better SQL Server developers and DBAs while showing you some new ways you might use the SQL Toolbelt to work more efficiently. Even if you’re not a Redgate Software customer, I’m sure you’ll learn some things about SQL Server.

In order to make things more convenient for everyone around the globe, we are broadcasting on two days, December 14 and 15. The content is the same both days, but the times vary. Wednesday will be an early day for my in Cambridge as we broadcast for Asia and Eastern Europe. Thursday will be a late night as the conference is scheduled to fit the Western Europe and US time zones.
